Firing Outside Educator Khan Sir’s Coaching Centre in Patna, Guard Injured

Shots were fired outside the coaching institute of Educator Khan Sir's near Musallahpur Haat in Patna.

Police said that a security guard reportedly sustained injuries in the incident, following which he was admitted to a hospital.

Speaking with ANI, SP Kartikeya K Sharma said that the police are recording the statement of the locals.

Following the incident, Patna SSP, SP, and multiple police teams reached the spot.

Khan Sir suspected that a rival coaching centre could be involved in the firing incident.

Why did Khan Sir link the Patna firing to low fees and high results?

"... The main issue seems to be why we are teaching for such low fees. Why are we getting such massive results? We appeal to the administration to keep security concerns in mind, recognising that the poor, too, have the right to an education,” Khan Sir said.

“When results are produced in the thousands, certain anti-social elements tend to feel threatened. They think they can suppress us,” he added.

He further alleged that the miscreants "vandalised" the office and called for "protection".

"The attackers completely vandalized the office and opened fire... The CCTV footage has been handed over to the authorities,” he said.

“Our security guard has also identified the perpetrators--it is the people from the nearby coaching center. We need protection; this is a matter for the administration to handle... It is obvious to everyone that the nearby coaching institute is behind this. They have even given the statements mentioning that they will blow up Khan Sir's coaching center…,” he added.
